Let It Be

film

The documentary film "Let It Be" gives an unparalleled insight into the Beatles getting back to basics at Twickenham and at their own recording studios in Savile Row. It spans two weeks of recording of what was to be their final album, Let It Be.

Highlight of the film is their legendary gig on the roof of the Apple Building. The sound of their music attracts hundreds of people in the streets below. The crowd spills over into the streets, blocks traffic, frustrates the police. Windows in nearby buildings pop open as other people strain for sight and sound of their favourite performers. Even rooftops serve as precarious perches for Beatles' fans.

Let It Be was produced by Neil Aspinall and directed by Michael Lindsey-Hogg. It includes tracks such as Don't Let Me Down, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Two Of Us, I've Got A Feeling, Oh Darling, One After 909, Across The Universe, Dig A Pony, I Me Mine, For You Blue, Besame Mucho, Dig It, Get Back and Let It Be.

Well, Here we are 45 years later and after all the work , the restorations, and innuendo about possible release dates and still no official issue of "LET IT BE " THE FILM , on DVD, I've said it before and I'll say it again , IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN " , but I sure would love the Beatles to make me wrong !!!! CHEERS .....

Side note - most people have a boot anyway but would prefer extras and good quality - I'm at an age where friends have literally died without seeing a good copy...so just money slipping through Apples fingers - yet another good intention becomes a corporate bureaucracy....

Supposedly there is already a DVD with region 0 available for $14 sale price at a site called Santaflicks. If this is genuine, then why hasn't Apple released the film officially? i mean, 44 years is a long time for a lot of people to go without seeing this movie. It's the film I've been waiting for for all that time.

Please release this. We know there was tension. The whole world knows. You have no idea how many fans want this on DVD or Blu Ray. If I remember correctly some of the cameras were a little out of registration but it could easily be corrected with today's modern techniques. I actually heard someone pn facebook say that it was Paul's ego that kept this from being released. I would like to think that isn't true. The "Naked" project even used some auto tune techniques on a few things (I am an engineer and I could hear it). So please dispense with the sacred cow mentality and release it. There is some good work here and it shows some of the way you guys worked. This is too good to not be released.

As a simple comment i would encourage anyone with a copy of this to watch it in full yet again. How has this become a grave stone at the end of the Beatles productive career? There are MANY positive and lighthearted moments - the sadness and negativity is put on it by us because in hindsight we KNOW it was the end. In context, think of your gang of friends getting older (not quit the same as it was in your teens and twenties was it...) it's life again reflected in the form of the Beatles - we see our own transformation from youth to adulthood and as ours was no easier we see the same in them. Come on look at the great stuff that came after in our lives and theirs. Watch it again as a bitter sweet last glimps of youth and not the BS we've learned since.

Like Johnb on here I also saw this as a kid and was mesmerised, I saw it on TV or on VHS im not sure but I was definitely at home with my floks when we saw it. There is infighting in all bands, been there done that but the beatles are in my blood whether its because I was born in the UK or whether its because of my unwavering love of music, im happy to hear that it may be re-released. John and George are both in better places now and its time to introduce another generation to the Beatles music...peace and love

I don't think " Let It Be - The Film " will ever be officially released in any format , whether or not it was officially released in 1981 is irrelevant , there is a certain cringe factor that the Beatles want to avoid , or should I say REWRITE !!, the movie shows the band breaking up ,even all the while making great music, but that very same music is not enough to get this project through. For as you see , you don't feel the Beatles breaking up listening to the music, but a visual tension filled augmentation does show just that, and that's what the Beatles truly hoped they could wish away. !!! The facts are the world knows about all of that, it can not be erased, but with the right kind of liner notes and possibly a more fluid balance to the picture , the Beatles might actually show their breakup in a better light , let's face it when the film was released originally , no one really gave a dam about what was in it !!! , they just needed to try and recoup their money that was tied up in that film . So the question is , do the Beatles want to make a ton of money world wide with a DVD release , or are they ashamed to show they were just human beings after all , warts and all ??

i love this movie

I saw this at the movie theater when it was released in 1970. As a 12 year old I was mesmerized. I didn't see the infighting Paul talks about. All I saw was magic and what I wanted to do with my life. I'd buy in in a heartbeat if it were released.

It is a part of history and should be released. The good as well as the bad made them who they were.

baileyMJMno98 Jan 2013

COME ON Paul,Ringo,Yoko & Olivia, Please let us have Let It Be on DVD! There are loads of Pirate ones on Amazon & e-BayBut we want an Official DVD PLEASE!

I don't understand what all the fuss is about? We have been watching a copy of Let It Be in one form or another for years so what do they think we are going see we haven't already seen? With everything that has been released in the last few years or so which we all have bought because we are fans they actually "owe" it to us to give us what we want. Come on boys it really is time to release it.

For Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia: please release Let It Be on DVD, Beatles fans have been waiting and waiting and the film is an important document in the history of the Fabs! I've seen a couple of very poor quality bootlegs of it and I and millions of other Beatles fans would love to see the film officially released with loads of bonus features in HD!

Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia say that it might never come out. It has already come out on video in the eighties.

When the mania over the remasters/Rock Band settles down, please please release this on Blu-ray/DVD.

2swans9 Sep 2009

I agree with everyone here. Please release this film, it's decades over due. And please include the entire rooftop concert, as it was the last public performance of the greatest band on earth.

sailor sam10 Aug 2009

For the first time, the Beatles were loosing the risk they played, but the fall made them greater at the end with "Abbey Road"!

hhinebaugh@gmail.com9 Aug 2009

charles9 Aug 2009

We've been waiting for the DVD release for many years. Or just think about how people would be excited when watching the original "Let It Be" trailer on TV as an AD, awesome!

vbexpert9 Aug 2009

I have this on laserdisc. Please release on DVD/BluRay! This is music history.

Wogew9 Aug 2009

Make the ultimate Let It Be movie, and include the complete rooftop concert!

Joe9 Aug 2009

This really needs to be released. Most people have seen it on the web anyway, and everyone knows The Beatles didn't always get on - it would hardly ruin the legend. Come on Apple Corps!Joe - http://www.beatlesbible.com
